The '67 was only $1.00 and it looked like this:The Classic addiction. Stan said the '70 looked better and it actually moves on it's own power, so that's a plus. He was planning on parting it for the '67, but now is thinking of rebuilding both. I told him this had better not turn out like his boats or there would be attorneys involved. I can handle one addiction, but two...come on!!! The shop is already beginning to look like it was decorated in early Sanford and Son.

Man, I live in the wrong state! We have to pay dearly for our yard finds.

Don't feel bad. I live in the same state, close to the coast, and have never been given a truck. Right place, right time, right people...I never get that combination.


LooseScrews--If y'all decide not to take it back up north, I'll be glad to give you your money back and come pick it up.

TIM! He came through Bay Minette about 11:00 yesterday morning. We may need to you come get it if it brings us bad karma!! Stan got home and I had told him earlier in the morning I heard water running. He thought I was crazy, but I insisted. Low and behold, we've got a leak at the fitting where the waterline comes into the house. So he's diggin' out the line in the rain today.

I did get pics of the truck while the boys were looking for the water leak, and I'll try posting them up in a little bit. Found out it's a 3/4 ton, not a 1/2 ton, so no swapping parts for the '67. I think Stan's decided HE needed HIM a truck, so he'll be looking for a decent body to put on the '70 while working on the body for the '67. Looks like I'm in the truck bidness as well as the boat bidness. Yea me.
